In almost every situation where there were female slaves and white men who controlled them, sexual abuse and rape occurred. Indeed, in a situation like this one where the men were probably much rougher and used to that sort of thing, the women (and children) spoke no English and were completely vulnerable, and the whole ship was miles from civilization, it was a very common thing.
Slaves were manacled and packed tightly into the holds of the slave ships.

When slaves were brought ashore from slave ships, they were usually inspected, cleaned, and separated before being sold at auctions. The slaves were then auctioned off to the highest bidder, typically plantation owners or slave traders, who would then use them for labor in fields, mines, or households.
